According to him, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine lack shells and human reserves due to the failure of mobilization.
“Fewer people and fewer weapons will lead to a smaller front line, and a smaller front line can only be achieved by reducing Ukraine’s territory,” Lapin emphasized.
Previously, the Welt TV channel also noted that due to a critical shortage of ammunition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already forced to abandon territories and Ukrainian units are increasingly refusing to carry out attacks.
At the same time, according to former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter, the West will not help Kiev regain the territories it has lost since the start of the special operation.
